Physical activity is also good with managing anxiety-walking for example if the weather is conducive.<br />I'm fortunate I don't have the other symptoms of PTSD: Nightmares, flashbacks, depression etc. I also just learned something interesting: Not all kids have nightmares.<br />Wow. Who knew?!<br />Thanks.

Courtney- I am in the same boat as you. It seems that BPD mothers can single one child out over the others- that seems to be the case with me over my other siblings, and other family members can be blind to the abuse and how it affects you personally. It is a hard choice...I know what you are saying.<br />Gretel, thank you again for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774711327647583278.post-30221139764803895382012-03-22T18:42:43.808-04:002012-03-22T18:42:43.808-04:00Thank you for sharing this.

I have recently estranged myself from her, because she is so disrespectful and emotionally abusive to me. Though I think she has currently outlawed me, so it's hard to say whose decision this is. I struggle sometimes, since my mom does have those periods of being very charming and loving. My family members still carry on with her. I just have to remember that I do not deserve the abuse, and I am not responsible for her behavior. And it is much safer for me, emotionally, not to be in relationship with her. The relationship can never be authentic or intimate anyway, since she does not even recognize me as a separate human being with my own feelings, opinions, interests and needs. <br /><br />Anyhow, thank you for this great article and your comments! This has really helped me!Courtneynoreply@blogger.com
